“Grandma offered, no takers but you. Her last word has spoken! Keep that secret and honor grandma. If you get the chance, hope you name it after her.”
“Edit to add: she left you intellectual property. It’s yours now.”
“If she had an odd collection of disturbing tea cups and said hey who wants these and you were the only taker and later said teacups were worth money I wouldn’t expect you to share them with the others who declined the disturbing teacups.”
“Grandma’s gone (may she RIP), you’ve perfected the cakes and Jane doesn’t have the first clue where to start. It’s YOUR secret recipe now, and you have no duty to give it to her.”
“For starters, there’s nothing wrong with baking and selling cakes, regardless of the recipe.”
“If she thinks no other bakery has its secret recipes then she’s kidding herself.”
“Secondly, she is a hypocrite. She wasn’t interested in the recipe until she realized that she could use it to make money.”
“She’s just upset and projecting her own issues because you beat her to the punch.”
